The Democrats fear and hate the Tea Party because the Tea Party supports lower taxes and less government, the opposite of the two pillars of the Democrat Party - more taxes and larger government. Sorry no sale.

Agree, knock off the Kool-Aid and heal your Tea Party derangement syndrome. Same two-step cure as for the Bush derangement syndrome and the Sarah Palin derangement syndrome: Get out of your progressive bubble echo chamber and take daily doses of facts. You will be well in no time.

The proof is showing us what you call Tea Party "propaganda". Not your interpretation of what the loosely organized Tea Party stands for as defined by those heavily invested in higher taxes and more government.

The more this current administration stumbles, the more it is obvious more taxes and more government is not the answer. And the more Tea Party sympathizers grow and the more the Democrats will attempt to distort and malign those who point out the Democrats own loss of credibility.

Most people who identify with the Tea Party don't belong to any sort of Tea Party organization, and most Tea Party organizations are led by the establishment with the purpose of hijacking it. Most people who identify with the Tea Party oppose these centralized Tea Party organizations.

The Tea Party is not a cohesive group with easily identifiable political positions on things like foreign policy, immigration, abortion or gay marriage. A lot of people who identify with the Tea Party are libertarians who are very much against war, for civil liberties, anti-drug war, are not racist against immigrants and are fine with gay marriage. There are also a lot in the Tea Party who are more conservative and have different views on these subjects.

What everybody in the Tea Party agrees on is that the government is too big, has too much power, taxes too much and that our country is going bankrupt.

If you're going to attack the Tea Party, you should attack where their is commonality among the vast majority of members, not attack the values or opinions of a minority who identify with the group.
